The origins of the Poison Baleful Energy Sect are impossible to trace.
It seems that the Poison Baleful Energy Sect has always existed in people's minds.
The earliest records can be traced back thousands, even tens of thousands of years.
Even the earliest records state: origin unknown.
This is a force that will do almost any business as long as you pay them.
From stealing from a fellow member to overthrowing a dynasty, anything can be done for money.
However, what's rather shameless is that although the Poison Baleful Energy Sect pays for tasks, they never guarantee that the tasks will be successful.
As long as you pay, I'll take the job.
The Poison Baleful Energy Sect will attempt the mission three times. If they fail all three times, the mission will be abandoned, but the money will not be refunded.
Logically speaking, an organization with such a lack of professional ethics shouldn't attract anyone to hire them for missions, right?
On the contrary.
The Poison Baleful Energy Sect, on the contrary, has a very good reputation.
Two reasons.
One is that the Poison Baleful Energy Sect really takes on any kind of job.
Another point is that the Poison Baleful Energy Sect has a very high mission completion rate.
In the recorded history of the Great Qian Kingdom, there were a total of twenty-two dynastic changes.
However, the Poison Baleful Energy Sect was Shadow in at least one-third of the dynastic changes.
In the vast world of the Great Qian Jianghu, numerous sects stand tall, and powerful figures emerge one after another.
It has produced countless brilliant geniuses in the past.
A powerful sect that once suppressed an entire era.
But the number of top-tier sects that have been wiped out by the Poison Baleful Energy Sect is unknown.
The Poison Baleful Energy Sect once had a glorious record of killing Master and Grandmaster.
The Poison Baleful Energy Sect is a malignant tumor in the entire Great Qian Dynasty.
They do things without any regard for rules.
Or rather, money is the rule of the Poison Baleful Energy Sect.
"No one has ever seen our leader's true face. He always wears an Iron Face, and no one knows how long he has lived."
"Or perhaps, the cult leader has changed countless times over."
"But one thing is certain: the leader is extremely, extremely strong. He once single-handedly fought thirteen Master -level masters from the Jianghu and annihilated them all."
"It was a complete annihilation, almost an Instant Kill, the kind where they couldn't even run away." Number One's eyes held a hint of longing.
"However, the cult leader loves money, almost to the core."
"They'll do almost anything crazy for money."
"Take this gold mine for example; even the cult leader probably made countless Map and sold them."
"Besides..."
Number One looked at the two-story building in front of him.
"What else?" Ling Yi frowned as he looked at Number One.
Following Number One's gaze, Ling Yi glanced at his own house.
What's so interesting about this?
I've been watching it all day.
"The cult leader's house looks just like the master's house!"
What does "very similar" mean?
"They are all Fangzheng, all two-story buildings, all with glazed windows and red brick walls."
Ling Yi was stunned for a moment. Wasn't this exactly the same?
"Do you know where your cult leader lives?" Ling Yi asked.
"I don't know. Every time we go to see the cult leader, we enter a specific place designated by him."
"After that, he will be unconscious for fifteen minutes. When he wakes up, he will go directly to the cult leader's house."
Therefore, no one knows exactly where the cult leader's house is.
Is this cult leader really that mysterious?
"I'll arrange ten more sparrows for you. Have your men keep a close eye on Red Maple Town."
"Also, release some misleading information to buy me as much time as possible."
"Yes, Master!"
Number One immediately understood what Ling Yi meant.
This is an attempt to secure the gold mine first!
But even if you take over the gold mine, it won't do you any good, since mining gold is no small job.
It requires a considerable amount of manpower and resources.
But then she thought about her young master's methods.
Perhaps the young master has some means to quickly mine gold.
Number One left with his men.
Meanwhile, Qin Yue, Qin Yuan, and Ling Yun were in the neighboring courtyard, settling their poultry and livestock.
They were quite busy and enjoying themselves.
"I just wanted to retire peacefully in Little Ye Village, but I never expected to find a gold mine here."
Ling Yi jumped directly onto the roof, squatted on the edge, and looked down at the entire Little Ye Village.
Little Ye Village is not large, with only about thirty households in total.
A single glance gives the feeling of the entire world.
Ling Yi now faces two choices.
If you don't want too much trouble, then leave Little Ye Village and find another place.
The ability to escape is not Ling Yi's personality trait.
Moreover, with the world on the verge of chaos, where can one find peace?
Unless, of course, you hide deep in the Lin Zhong.
For Ling Yi, it didn't matter.
They can endure loneliness and stay indoors for years.
It is also possible to wander through the bustling world without getting tainted by its affairs.
Therefore, it's best to leave the decision-making power to my older sister Ling Yun.
During dinner that evening, Ling Yi told Ling Yun about it.
Ling Yun was also conflicted.
It's hard to leave one's homeland.
Ling Yun did not want to leave Little Ye Village.
But she also knew that there was a gold mine, and that Red Maple Town and Little Ye Village were the closest to it.
It will inevitably become a battleground for various forces in the future.
"Sister, you can choose whichever you want. It just means you'll have more people around you." Ling Yi naturally knew what Ling Yun was struggling with.
"With me here, no one can affect our lives. It's just a matter of whether my sister prefers peace and quiet or a lively atmosphere."
At this moment, Qin Yuan suddenly said, " Ling Yun, why don't you come to the capital with me!"
Hearing Qin Yuan's words, Ling Yun couldn't help but laugh, "Sister Qin Yuan, do you want me to go to the capital, or do you want to lure my brother to the capital?"
Clearly, Ling Yun was aware of Qin Yuan's ulterior motives.
Although Ling Yun is young, it doesn't mean she can't understand or comprehend what she's saying.
Did Qin Yuan intend to take them to the capital?
She wanted Ling Yi to help her reclaim the throne.
Ling Yun didn't want her precious younger brother to get involved in the court's power struggles.
"My brother and I definitely won't go to the capital!" Ling Yun said firmly.
"Okay, I'll listen to my sister." Ling Yi nodded.
The siblings exchanged a smile.
"The world is in turmoil now; there is no peace anywhere in the world," Qin Yuan still refused to give up.
True security comes from standing at the pinnacle of the world, possessing military power, wealth, and authority; only then can one rest easy.
Only then can one truly take control of their own destiny and life.
" Ling Yi, if you help me reclaim the throne, I will personally create a secluded paradise for you, free from worldly troubles. What do you say?"
Qin Yuan's statement was quite straightforward.
With the Divine Seal present, Ling Yi could sense that Qin Yuan was speaking from the heart.
To be honest, this deal is actually pretty good.
but!
"I'll listen to my sister. Whatever she says, I'll do," Ling Yi said with a shrug.
Qin Yuan looked at Ling Yun.
"Impossible! I will never allow Little Yi to get involved in the court's internal strife."
"But, Ling Yun, if you do this, won't you be letting your son Ling Yi live an ordinary life?" Qin Yuan said.
Upon hearing this, Ling Yun was immediately stunned.
" Ling Yi clearly has such abilities, is he just going to stay in Little Ye Village, living a mediocre and ordinary life?"
"Wouldn't that bury all his skills?"
Qin Yuan said with utmost seriousness, "Sister Ling Yun, what you're worried about is nothing more than Ling Yi being in danger, trapped in a chaotic vortex, unable to escape."
"Given Ling Yi's methods, your worries are completely unnecessary."
"A true man is born between heaven and earth and should always do something extraordinary, establish merit and fame, leave his name in history, and be remembered for eternity."
Hearing Qin Yuan's words, Ling Yun clearly hesitated.
Ling Yi shook his head.
This Qin Yuan, as expected of the eldest princess, her rhetoric is so sophisticated, her PUA techniques Gao Ming!
But Ling Yi still didn't say anything.
The choice is entirely up to Ling Yun.
Even if this choice is wrong, with Ling Yi around, Ling Yun has the right to make mistakes.
